Horoscope for May 2012 for Sagittarius

Decan 1 (born Nov 23 to Dec 2) - Right now, you're going through a rough patch; Mars is squaring your decan since mid-March and this will continue on during the first three weeks of May, so expect to continue to feel tense, aggravated and even angry. Mercury will also enter the stage from May 13th to 16th, which will allow you to give vent to some of that accumulated frustration without causing too much of a fuzz. However, instead of using this influence to bicker and squabble, use Mercury's energy to produce something or even to begin a self-improvement process, because on the 20th, the Solar Eclipse will represent additional struggles. This event will highlight the opposing areas of your life: family versus work, dreams versus reality, you versus other people; you won't be able to think clearly or rationally, so avoid confrontations at all costs and making decisions. Just live one day at a time and, before you know it, the planets will once again smile at you.

Decan 2 (born Dec 3 to 12) - A rough month seems to be coming your way, Sagittarius. Your decan will feel Mars' influence from May 19th onwards. Until then, weeks will be pretty uneventful, but as soon as this strong influence enters the scene, expect some tension and pent-up energy, which will likely cause negative reactions in those around you. Although you will strive to be assertive, your close relationships will probably suffer, because you will tend to impose your will rather than discuss situations or weigh in all circumstances. From May 29th to June 2nd, Mercury and Mars join forces and create a very challenging aspect: expect to feel quite frustrated, angry, try to keep those negative emotions at bay and be careful not to fall into the temptation of throwing tantrums or causing arguments. The key is to try to spend all of your energy in other areas, particularly physical or individual activities, and put yourself in other people's shoes. Just hang in there!

Decan 3 (born Dec 12 to 21) - Your love life will take the foreground this month, Sagittarius, as Venus will opposite your decan throughout the entire month. This Venus' transit is longer than usual because Venus will become retrograde on May 15th; still, the main emphasis will be on your romantic relationships, your home life and your finances. You may experience some laziness or an irresistible desire to relax, although this will be more accurate during the second half of the month, since from May 3rd to 9th, Mercury kicks in to expand your communications and interactions, creating plenty of opportunities to socialize. Take this time to express your feelings and to increase your romantic interactions, because once Venus becomes retrograde, things won't flow as easily. Loneliness might kick in, even if you're already in a relationship, so make sure you make an effort to connect with people. Regarding finances, this may not be the right time to make any sudden movements: plan and analyze everything accordingly.
